ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus measuring prevailing weather and meteorological visibility. According to the method an optical scattering-type measurement instrument is used for determining the apparent volume of precipitation in a measurement space. The apparent volume of precipitation is measured in measurement space having a volume of less than 0.2 liters, and simultaneously with this measurement of apparent volume of precipitation, also the water quantity related to the measurement space is measured. The implementation makes it possible to determine both the type and rate of precipitation.
